Let me tell you about RT Keith since I have it, watch it, and love it. That is despite the fact that most on the station are progressives, Bernie Sanders supporters. Incredible as it may sound, they are sane and rational as to their own perspectives on things which makes listening to them fine. Yea, that is what is so funny and bizarre about the accusations. They have Larry King, Ed Schulze, Ted Hartman, Abby Hoffman. All of them attest they have no pressure to present any particular viewpoint, unlike American stations. Real Trump supporters, NOT. Then for fillers there are some Russian reporters who are actually very good but being Russian, do not qualify as a republican or democrat. They rather share Russian perspectives, sometimes even critical of Putin.
It has a small budget so runs news on the hour for 30 minutes. Then some talk shows or documentaries - which are excellent, usually about life in some hell hole of the world. And it is basically news, like we use to see when I was young. Due to it being international, they have far better coverage of international events. They have some Russian reporters with major guts who go into war zones like in the middle east. Something you never see on American news anymore. As to it being a Kremlin station, hogwash. The Kremlin has two news outlets for their propaganda, Tass and Sputnik. We have CNN, Wapo, and New York Times. England has the BBC. etc etc. RT News gets a government grant and license on the condition it shares a Russian perspective. Remember that Russia was once a communist country and the government owned everything. Anyway, relevant point is that RT was not a Shilliary promoting station. The accusations against them are absurd. They get away with that BS because RT does have a small audience.
